3. ENGINE COOLING SySTEM MODIFICATION, cont'd

Fig. 3W: Small Coolant Hose

Install the cut-off portion of the small coolant hose

onto the driver side-facing port of the previously-

installed TEE and orient as shown. Secure with

the OEM clamp. (See Fig. 3W)

Use the included 5/16” hose, 5/16” barbed hose

unions, and #15.7 stepless clamps to extend the

upper coolant hose along the top of the engine to

the previously cut-off portion connected to the

TEE. Route the hose under the large wiring har-

ness as shown and secure away from moving

parts and sharp edges. Trim to length and secure

with the #15.7 stepless clamps. (See Fig. 3X)

Locate the coolant overflow hose running along

the top of the radiator (previously disconnected

from the OEM coolant reservoir). Pull back the

abrasion sleeve and cut the hose about 1" into the

straight section at the driver side end. Use the

included 3/8” hose, 3/8” barbed hose union, and

#17 stepless clamps to extend the coolant over-

flow hose along the top of the radiator, under the

passenger side upper radiator mount (along the

wiring harness) and around to the area of the

replacement coolant reservoir. (See Fig. 3Y)

Install the cut-off portion from the previous step

onto the forward-facing leg of the TEE installed

above and orient as shown. Secure with the OEM

clamp. (See Fig. 3Z)
